AnnaLynne McCord stops by the Newsroom Restaurant for some lunch with her girlfriends on Thursday (February 13) in Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old 90210 actress recently wrote a post on her blog about feeling beautiful in one’s own skin.

“I am often asked for beauty, health, fashion and lifestyle recommendations. As a woman, feeling beautiful is sometimes the difference in a perceived happy moment and that bummed cover-up-in-the-comforter-and-drop-the-shades kind of day,” AnnaLynne wrote. “More important than external appearances, however, is our love of self. But, who says you can’t have both?”
